Louise Boyleová (nepřechýleně Boyle; 17. února 1910, Grand Forks, Severní Dakota, USA – 31. prosince 2005, Ithaca, New York) byla americká fotografka známá svými snímky dokumentujícími vliv Velké hospodářské krize na zemědělské pracovníky na jihu, zejména Afroameričany.

Životopis

Boyleová se narodila v roce 1910 v Grand Forks v Severní Dakotě, jedna ze dvou dcer Effie L. Boyleové a Jamese E. Boyla. Když jí bylo osm, její rodina se přestěhovala do Ithaky v New Yorku, a tam bydlela po většinu svého dospělého života. Navštěvovala střední školu v Ithace a pokračovala na Vassar College.[1]

Boyleová nějaký čas studovala fotografii v New Yorku a poté v Ithace otevřela komerční a portrétní fotografické studio. Jedním z jejích dřívějších dokumentů je soubor fotografií pennsylvánských těžařů, které pořídila pro Survey Graphic.[1]

Boyleová byla členkou skupiny mladých socialistů, kteří se dobrovolně přihlásili na pomoc Southern Tenant Farmers Union (Svazu zemědělců jižních nájemců, SFTU).[2] V roce 1937 byla pozvána fotografovat život a dílo členů Arkansasu SFTU, které byly organizovány před třemi lety bojujícími nájemnými farmáři. Její fotografie pořízené fotoaparátem Leica dokumentují farmáře a jejich rodiny na polích, doma i na schůzkách odborů. Stejně jako práce jejích současníků Walkera Evanse a Dorothy Langeové, tak i její fotografie nenásilně ukazují obrovské potíže, kterým čelí farmáři na jihu v tomto období, zejména Afroameričané. Zároveň zaznamenávají silného komunálního ducha mezi jižními organizátory práce a farmáři. O více než čtyřicet let později se Boyleová vrátila, aby v roce 1982 znovu vyfotografovala některé ze stejných lidí a míst.[1]

Boyleová nějakou dobu působila jako redaktorka pro Cornell University Press.[3] Sbírka jejích fotografií je ve sbírce v Kheel Centru na Cornell University jako součást jejích fondů souvisejících s SFTU.[4]

Boyleová zemřela v Ithace poslední den roku 2005.[1]

Dílo

Mladá černoška u studny v Delta Cooperative

Boyleová často dokumentovala Afroameričany během hospodářské krize V její práci jsou obzvláště prominentní myšlenky na soudržnost a společný boj. Její fotografie zachycují, jak farmáři společně pracovali na vytvoření kolektivní budoucnosti, která bude ku prospěchu všem. Mnoho z jejích fotografií ukazuje, jak Afroameričané sklízejí bavlnu, pracují pro odbory nebo jen žijí každodenní život ve svých domovech.[5]
